About Marla

I am a published author of two children's books. My career allows me to work as a writer, editor, public speaker and graphic designer. I teach the writing, editing, illustrating and publishing process to students and share the positive message of patience and perseverance during my school visits.

I've had the honor of working with baseball teams, players and celebrities who I've partnered with. Partial proceeds from my books also go back to the community and to a Foundation that saves and rescues dogs. I think it's important to always give back when we can.

I have a Journalism Degree from the University of Wisconsin - Madison. I've worked in Marketing and Advertising for the last 20 years focusing on writing and graphic design work. My life changed when I wrote my first children's book and began presenting and teaching my message to students. I am very passionate about writing and making sure it's done correctly...from grammar to sentence structure to word usage. These are all great tools to use when becoming an exceptional writer.

It's also important to always believe in yourself and follow your dreams! Don't let anything or anyone stop you from becoming the person you want to be!

I encourage you to contact me to see how I can help you grow and succeed in your writing and public speaking skills and goals. Thank you! I am a published author of two children's books.

Approved subjects

In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.

Public Speaking

I have been a public speaker for over 5 years teaching students of all ages, and speaking during daytime events and family literacy nights to students, parents and educators. I have a Journalism Degree from the University of Wisconsin - Madison. I've worked in Marketing and Advertising for the last 20 years. I have had the opportunity to present to many audiences through my children's books, Mom's Big Catch and Sadie's Big Steal. I teach the power of positivity, patience and perseverance along with sharing my knowledge of the writing process: publishing, editing, illustrating and presentation skills.
